Module 3 单元加餐练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Lilly and Audrey are younger than most cookbook authors. But they have been developing their kitchen skills for more than half their lives. When they had just learned to walk, they loved to hang out in the kitchen while their parents cooked dinner. At age 5, they made their first dish without help: pumpkin muffins.
Audrey can still remember the way the muffins rose in the oven (烤箱), the painful wait for them to cool and the sweetness of the fresh-made treats. “It was super exciting to make something so delicious almost all on our own，” she says.
Their parents are not very skilled at cooking, so Lilly and Audrey turned to other people for cooking advice. Auspiciously,_they live in Sonoma, California, an area that is known for its farms and restaurants. One local cook gave the twins (双胞胎) lessons on cooking techniques, such as how to use knives; those classes taught Lilly and Audrey how to use kitchen tools safely.
In 2009, they started a blog (博客), on which they share photos and recipes (菜谱) they have created. Though the twins love creating sweet foods such as muffins, they also think about healthy food. They hope their cookbook will encourage kids to make better food choices by making them more knowledgeable.
“Knowing more about your food and where it comes from certainly causes you to know more about what you eat and to put the best food in your body，” Lilly says. That has been true for her. Lilly used to avoid eggplant at all costs, until one day she tried cooking it for herself. Now it's one of her favorite vegetables. “If you make something yourself and give it a try, you'll probably like it，” she says.

Here are some ways to help you have a happier and more successful life：

Then life will get better. __2__ Without life's challenges, we would never know what we are truly made of. Therefore, we become stronger and more confident in the process.
__3__ It actually works! Don't say it doesn't work until you've tried it. We all have a blueprint for our lives and making plans will help us realize it.
Take care of people around you honestly.__4__ If you truly care about your friends, family or someone else, they'll stick with you through high and low because they know you care about them.
Refuse to compare your progress with others. It will only serve to destroy your confidence. Everyone is at different stages in their lives. If you understand that you're right where you're supposed to be, then it won't matter what others are doing. You are unique with special qualities, talents, skills and so on.__5__

Rock music in one form or another is the most popular type of music all over the world. But where did it come from?
Rock began in the USA in the early 1950s. At that time, “rhythm and blue” music was very popular with black Americans. “R&B” was a mixture of black religious music and jazz. It had strong rhythms that you could dance to and simple, fast words.
Noticing the success of R&B music, white musicians started to copy the same style. By the mid-1950s, this new white R&B music, called rock ’n’ roll, had become very popular. Singers like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley attracted millions of teenage fans. Their music was fast and loud. Many older people thought that rock ’n’ roll was very dangerous.
By the early 1960s, even rock ’n’ roll had become old-fashioned. Many of the songs had begun to sound the same. It was at that time that a new group from England became popular — the Beatles.
The Beatles first started by singing American style songs, but they soon developed their own style, with more complicated tunes. They also introduced different instruments. Groups like the Beatles had a very important influence on the style of popular music.
By the early 1970s, rock ’n’ roll had developed into a new form of music. Electronics had replaced the amplified guitars and drums of rock ’n’ roll. “Rock” had arrived.
Rock music had continued to change and develop. It had combined with music from different parts of the world. Today, there are hundreds of different types of rock music, and almost every country has its own form of rock.

A father who spent his life admiring (钦佩) Superman had his own superhero moment recently, although it came just after his death, when he saved two lives by giving away his kidneys (肾脏)．
Chris Kmetz, a 41-year-old Washington father of two, fell into a pond on Feb. 23 while he was driving home. When doctors told his wife, Jackie Kmetz, that her husband wouldn't make it, she changed him into a “Superdad” shirt and put their two kids, 2-year-old Madelyn and 4-year-old Dexter, in their own Superman clothes to say goodbye. Chris Kmetz died on Feb. 28, 2015.
“During his childhood, Chris was introduced to picture books, and Superman became his first love，” Jackie says. Chris kept over 1,000 such picture books in his bedroom and dressed as Superman every Halloween, and even sent videos telling superhero stories to his kids when he couldn't be home to put them to bed.
Before his death, Chris cared a lot about organ donation (器官捐献), Jackie says. In fact, one of their usual conversations was the fact that they were both ready to be donors. “It was very clear in the first few hours after Chris's accident that the damage (损伤) to his brain was deadly, so I talked to the doctors about that because it was something very important to Chris，” Jackie says.
Not all donors are able to save lives. Only one percent of hospital deaths meet the standards of organ donation, but Chris was one of them. Jackie said their children didn't yet know about their father's last act of kindness, but she will share his great stories with them later. “I'll make copies of the videos and news stories so we can see how heroic he was，” she says.

Death Valley National Park is the largest national park on the American mainland. This 3.3 million acre (英亩) park in southern California is the lowest, hottest, and driest place in North America. The lowest point is 86 meters below sea level. In the summer, the average temperature is 46 ℃， and the highest temperature ever recorded here was 56.6 ℃. There are some summers when Death Valley receives no rain, and the average rainfall is fewer than two inches.
The earliest visitors to this desert area were different tribes (部落) of Native Americans. They walked through this area but did not stay. In 1849, people heard about the discovery of gold in California. Thousands of people began the long trip to the west. This large desert area was so difficult to cross that it received the name Death Valley.
Today, tourists and nature lovers from all over the United States travel to Death Valley to enjoy its natural beauty. There are over one thousand kinds of plants in this desert, including many kinds of cactuses and flowers. Cactuses, with their interesting and unusual shapes, need very little rain. Their roots are close to the surface of the ground so they can quickly collect any rainfall. A few days after the first rain in the spring, thousands of wildflowers cover the desert.
There are also many animals that have learned to live in this area. Most are active at night, and they sleep during the day. For example, the kangaroo rat sleeps deep underground while the sun is out. It can live all its life without drinking any water, getting its water from the food it eats.
If you are planning a trip to Death Valley, winter is the best time to visit. And there are more things to know and prepare before you set off.

One of the best things you can do for your health is to drop a few pounds. Or maybe more than a few pounds.
Being overweight increases your danger of heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, the list seems almost endless. You'd better find several simple things you can do on a daily basis — such as making rules of eating more vegetables and less fat and getting more physical activities.
After breakfast, make water your primary drink. At breakfast, go ahead and drink orange juice. But throughout the rest of the day, focus on water instead of juice or soda. The average American consumes (消耗) an extra 245 calories a day from soft drinks. That's nearly 90,000 calories a year — or 25 pounds! And research shows that neither the calories nor sugary drinks give you a sense of fullness the way that food does.
People take only 2,000 to 3,000 steps a day. Adding 2,000 steps will help you keep your present weight and stop gaining weight. Adding more than that will help you lose weight.
Eat five or six small meals or snacks a day instead of three large meals. A 1999 South African study found that when men ate parts of their morning meal at intervals over five hours, they consumed almost 20 percent fewer calories at lunch than when they ate a single breakfast.
语篇解读：本文主要描述了作者在减肥方面的一些建议。
12．Where is the passage probably taken from?
A．A travelling diary. B．A story book.
C．A science magazine. D．An English dictionary.
解析：选C 文章出处题。文章主要描述减肥方面的建议。杂志中主要是生活类文章。故选C。
13．Which of the following should be avoided if you want to lose weight?
A．Eating more vegetables.
B．Getting more exercise.
C．Having less sugary drinks.
D．Having three large meals.
解析：选D 细节理解题。由文章第二段最后一句可知，A，B，C三项均与答案句形成同义替换。D选项定位到原文最后一段第一句，该句说道“一天吃五六次小餐或零食，而不是吃三顿大餐”，由此可知D与文章不符。
14．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Healthy Eating Habits B．Tips on Losing Weight
C．Daily Diet and Calories D．Exercise Stops Diseases
解析：选B 标题归纳题。由首尾两段可知，本篇文章围绕减肥话题展开，故选B。A，C，D三项都属于减肥的细节信息，属以偏概全错误。
15．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Lots of diseases are related to being overweight.
B．Those who have a single breakfast eat less at lunch time.
C．Taking 4,000 to 5,000 steps a day can help you lose weight.
D．An average American consumes 25 pounds of soft drinks a year.
解析：选A 细节理解题。A选项定位原文第二段第一句，与原文同义替换。B选项定位原文最后一段最后一句，“他们会少摄入少于20%的卡路里跟只吃一顿早餐相比”，由此可知饮食习惯可以减少卡路里的摄入，跟吃多少东西并无关系，故不可选。C选项定位原文第四段，原文提到4,000－5,000 steps will help you keep your present weight, C选项为lose weight，故排除。D选项定位原文第三段倒数第二句，原文为nearly 25 pounds, D选项省去了nearly，故无法形成同义替换。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Maybe you are an ordinary student.__16__This is not necessarily so. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how：
Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc, then decide a good, regular time for studying. __17__ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.
Make good use of your time in class.__18__ Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material.__19__ If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be over worried.
__20__You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
A．This will help you understand the next class.
B．You probably think you will never be a top student.

Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
参考范文
Hi, Tiger Mom，
I'm happy to receive your e-mail. Here is my idea about what puzzles you.
My idea is that it is not quite right for you to do so. Although high grades are important for students and their future, we should also pay attention to the development of their mind and body. Some all-A students in school have not been so successful because the pressure from their parents allows them almost no time for other activities. Furthermore, in order to help them grow up healthily punishment is not a wise choice.
So I suggest that you take your friends' advice. More importantly, let her live like a lovely girl, have social activities, and make friends of her own as teenagers often do.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Introduction & Reading — Pre-reading
阅读理解

Mary Allen was my best friend — like the sister I ever had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, and horseback riding.
When I was 13, my family moved away. Mary and I kept in touch through letters and we saw each other on special occasions (场合) — like my wedding and Mary's. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back stamped “Address Unknown”．
Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.
One day I was reading the newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked a lot like Mary and whose last name was Wagman — Mary's married name. “There must be thousands of Wagman.” I thought, but I wrote to her anyway.
She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin！” she said excitedly. “Mary Allen Wagman” is my mother.Minutes later I heard a voice recognized immediately, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and caught up on each other's lives.
Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there's one thing that Mary and I know for sure: We don't lose each other again.

To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, or listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone's life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plots and the greatest interests, be so exciting or dramatic？I'm not sure about it.
Now we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning — the kind of music we hear in the concert hall, we discover them in our everyday life too — in the rhythm of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said, “Through music a child enters a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”
4．What does the writer say more about in the text?
A．Life full of music.
B．Life without music.

A．don't realize the importance of music
B．get along quite well without music

6．What does the underlined word “melody” in the second paragraph mean in the text?
A．Flying. B．Looking.
C．Singing. D．Living.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。本文主要讲的是音乐，且此处melody的意思应与rhythm并列，意为“(鸟儿的)歌唱”。
7．From the last paragraph, we learn that music ________.
A．is very important, especially for children
B．is very necessary for our everyday life
C．can make our life exciting and dramatic
D．can enter into another beautiful world
解析：选A 细节理解题。最后一段话主要讲了音乐对孩子的作用，因此A项最贴切。

Having Breakfast Or Not
Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfast.
The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class. The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.

There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages (工资)．
On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, “If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages.”
The sailors (船员) had heard about the captain's cheating, so they didn't trust him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away.
“You are cheating，” the captain said to the sailor.“The fire's warming you.”
“But it's half a mile away！” said the sailor.
“A fire's fire，” answered the captain.“I have won.”
The sailor came out of the water, and said, “Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can't cook a chicken.”
“I can，” answered the captain.
“If you cook this chicken，”said the sailor，“I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can't, you will give me your ship.”
The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, “Where's the fire？”
“There it is，” answered the sailor.“On the shore.”
“But it's half a mile away，” said the captain angrily.
“‘A fire's fire，’ you said，” answered the sailor.“If it is enough to warm me in the water, it is enough to cook your chicken.”
语篇解读：一个爱钱吝啬的船长总是想方设法克扣船员工资，但聪明的船员却以其人之道还治其人之身。

People seem to have a natural need for friends and with good reason. Friends increase your enjoyment of life and relieve feelings of loneliness. They even can help reduce stress and improve your health. Having good friends is especially helpful when you are going through any kind of hard time such as when you are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, or depression.
When you are with good friends you feel good about yourself, and you are glad to be with them. A friend is someone who —
●you like, respect, and trust, and who likes, respects and trusts you
●doesn't always understand you, but accepts and likes you as you are, even as you grow and change
●allows you the space to change, grow, make decisions, and even make mistakes
●listens to you and shares with you both the good times and the bad times
●respects your need for secrets, so you can tell them anything
●lets you freely express your feelings and emotions without judging, teasing, or criticizing you
●accepts the limitations you have put on yourself and helps you to remove them
A person once said, “Friendship is a continuing source of bonding (连接), releasing, and creating in yourself and with the other person. There is an emotional bond between the two people.”
A good friend or supporter may or may not be the same age or the same sex as you, and may not have the same educational, cultural, or religious background, or share interests that are similar to yours. Friendships also have different depths. Some are closer to the heart and some more superficial,_but they're all useful and good.
语篇解读：文章在讲好朋友在生活中所起的作用，友谊是两个人之间的情感桥梁，不分种族、性别和宗教。

Having good friends is especially helpful when you are going through any kind of hard time such as when you are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, or depression.”朋友可以增加生活的乐趣，减少孤独，减轻压力，改善健康，度过困难的时光，故没有提到D项。
2. The underlined word “superficial” means “________”．
A．deep B．hard
C．shallow D．close
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据最后一段提到“Friendships also have different depths. Some are closer to the heart and some more superficial, but they're all useful and good.”友谊有不同的深度，有些会贴近内心，有些会很浅显，但它们都是有用的，都是好的，故选C项。

A．A Friend in Need Is a Friend Indeed

B
As is true in all cultures, Americans first hear music in the context of family life. Much of that music comes from the records on the family radio or television，and this “canned”_music is especially important in developing children's musical taste. People often say they were very strongly influenced by the kind of music they heard before they were old enough to have their own records or choose the station on the family radio. There is usually some live music in the family as well.
Many mothers and grandmothers sing lullabies (催眠曲)，for example. These can be important since in America, as elsewhere, lullabies not only lull a baby to sleep but promise, praise and teach cultural values. Sometimes lullabies are the only songs in a foreign language that American children with strong ethnic (种族的) backgrounds hear，since people often fall back on old，familiar languages for intimate (亲密的) songs.
Another important family context is the automobile，where families learn songs and sing together on weekends and vacations. This is not as surprising as it appears, for the family car has become one of the basic centers of family experience, and it is one of the important places where the families gather for an extended period of time without outside disturbance. The family used to have to choose between making their own music in the car and being force-fed by the radio, but the invention of automobile cassette recorders and eight-track playback machines allows a family to have more control over what they hear when they drive.
语篇解读：文章介绍了人们接触音乐的几种形式。

5．The music children first hear is important in________.
A．shaping their likes and dislikes in music
B．learning language
C．developing their mind
D．knowing about cultural values

6．According to the passage lullabies are usually sung in ________.
A．American English
B．a familiar language
C．an African language
D．the parents' native language
解析：选D 细节理解题。由第二段最后一句的“since people often fall back on old，familiar languages for intimate (亲密的) songs”可知答案。
7．The underlined word “context” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “________”．
A．chances B．culture
C．surroundings D．content
解析：选C 词义猜测题。由下一句的“the family car has become one of the basic centers of family experience，and it is one of the important places where the families gather”可推知，其含义接近于surroundings“环境”。
